Hyndburn-based tech consultancy, Sundown Solutions, was delighted to pass a very tough technical audit recently, to become a Microsoft Azure Expert Partner - one of few in the UK.

This high accolade comes after a period of extremely rapid growth for the company, with headcount forecast to rise from 72 to 150 by the end of 2023.

Sundown is a member of the Microsoft Azure Managed Service Provider (MSP) program, dedicated to delivering exceptional tools, systems, knowledge, and support to empower and assist customers throughout their digital transformation and AI journey - following on from being Gold partners for over a decade.

As part of the Azure Expert MSP program, Sundown maintains the highest level of certification continuously, having successfully completed a rigorous audit of their managed service capabilities conducted by the external audit firm (ISSI) on behalf of Microsoft. This certification is a testament to their expertise in effectively managing various cloud environments, regardless of type or size.

Sundown also offers comprehensive support through the Microsoft Azure Migration & Modernization Program (AMMP), designed to simplify and accelerate Azure migration journeys. By partnering with Sundown Solutions, customers gain access to Azure credits and funding for qualified projects as well as advanced previews of latest products, to help them maintain their competitive edge in the marketplace. 

Heath Groves, CEO of Sundown Solutions, commented: "I'm absolutely delighted to become a Microsoft Azure Expert MSP - it's a great honour in our industry, and everyone in the company has worked extremely hard to achieve it. We're working with some top class global clients, while also working on new developments and products of our own in the fields of cyber security and AI.

"We're at the forefront of our industry, as can be seen by our very steep growth trajectory. We're actively recruiting locally and encourage people to take a look at our website to see what we do.

"This is an exciting phase of development for Sundown!"

Sundown Solutions is a technology consultancy operating in the fields of digital transformation, software solutions, cyber security and Cloud computing.

The NHS, Ministry of Defence, National Audit Office, Capita and Everyman Cinema are just some of Sundown Solutions' blue-chip clients.
